Yes there are 2 empty slots. I purchased 2 more knives to fill them in. Love them, but be careful they are extremely sharp...

It's been awhile, but I believe there are empty slots. I eventually purchased a mush larger block to which I have added additional Wusthof knives, like the boning knife, a Santuko, and another (level up grade), chef's knife.

The steak knife slots are only about 3/4". I have four steak knives that were too big. I used slots above the eight bottom slots. Hope this helps.

There isn't any empty slot unless you purchased a different set. The set I own the knives all fit perfectly.

I believe that each knife has a designated space. I am not aware of additional knives to the ones offered in the block. That will leave you with spares, or will make another cook in your life very happy.......

there are 20 knife slots, and one for the steel and one for the sheers. Hope this helps - sorry it took me so long to get this answered.

Inside the knife case one one side they have slots above the regular knife slots that fit your smaller knives. I use mine to hold my pairing knife and other little things it's a great bag I go to the culinary institute of America and I use this bag everyday and it never disappoint.

There are fixed slots used to guide the knife. It is nice to have the loaf traight and uniform slives. You could use a shim to hold the loaf away from the end but not worth the effort.

I have 2 paring knives, 1 6" utility knife, a 8" chef, a 10" bread knife, and a pair of kitchen shears--so 6 items. I could probably put a couple more in, but there is a point with this type of rod system where you put too many knives in and the rods will start to bind/get tight and hold the blades too firmly to slide them in/out easily. I'd say 8 of varied sizes is a good max fit, maybe 10 if small (with a tight fit). Block won't fit a 12" knife very well (too tall for the block)--works OK but the blade near the handle will be sticking out. Good luck. P.S. as other person mentioned, heavy and stable--like it for a small kitchen space.

Both. There are slots that accommodate longer knives. You will be satisfied.

As I indicated in my review, I barely fit my pistol (fat) handled knives in the lid space reserved for knives. If you feel along the velvet ledge along the bottom of the lid, you will find 12 slits. I shoved my rounded tops down into the slits, so they're upside down. Mine are long, too, and just fit once shoved down. Fortunately, I only have 8 settings; 12 fat knives would not have fit.

Since the holder has no slots it all depends on how close you slide the knives together. I have put knives in to test it and my answer would be 20 to 25 with room for 5 more, again depending on how close you put them together. I have purchased this as gifts and they also love theirs. We have have never had any kind of problem with ours to date. There are a few items like our coffee machine that if it broke we would purchase another the next day, I feel the same way about the Kapoosh knife holder.I do hope you found this helpful.

The knife area is different but I was able to put 2 different knives in. Are your's too big or have you just not found the slits

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

There are different sized slots for different blades, I have a 7inch chefs knife that it holds perfectly and a 10in bread knife that works. Sorry if this doesnt help. For the price its a great block

Can anyone provide a picture of how the knives are placed in this thing? Thanks.

The slots go all the way through to the other side. If you have the type of island/cabinet where it swings easily to both sides, you can put a short knife in each side of some of the slots.
